It's a combination of things: Good music - a mixture of slowed down old house tracks and odd electronic records that seem to fit together well somehow. Good crowd, diverse in terms of age and with broad tastes. Regular parties (its every month). Good DJs - Years ago they used to have guests but now it's just the two residents (Andy Blake and Joe Hart) playing all night every month. This works really well since the bond they've established with the crowd is strong. Unpretentious - It's dark, there's a strobe and fog machine, the sound system is loud, beer is cheap. That's pretty much it - no frills.
A few people have been saying it's the best house party in London. That might be slightly hyperbolic, but it's not too far off the mark I suspect. Best of all, despite those plaudits the parties aren't full of trend chasing idiots. -----Original Message----- From: Aidan O'Doherty [mailto:aidan.b.odohe...@gmail.com] Sent: 06 December 2012 14:13 To: Paul Kendrick Cc: Daniel Bean; Rob Taylor; 313@hyperreal.org Subject: Re: (313) RE: NYE fill us in - what makes it so good?
